The SHOWTHREAD template has changed in 3.6.8, and am having problems installing this.

The instructions say to look for:

<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/subscribe.gif" alt="$vbphrase[subscription]" />
<if condition="$show['subscribed']">
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_thread]</a>
<else />
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addsubscription&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[subscribe_to_this_thread]</a>
</if>
</td>
</tr>

yet my SHOWTHREAD looks like this:

<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/subscribe.gif" alt="$vbphrase[subscription]" vspace="1" />
<if condition="$show['subscribed']">
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_thread]</a>
<else />
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addsubscription&amp;t=$threadid">$vbphrase[subscribe_to_this_thread]</a>
</if>
</div>

I tried placing it after the </div> but it is not showing up properly. Also, the links are not clickable.

Any help is appreciated.

This mod is very very interesting and I've downloaded it but before using if I would like to know is this is supported or not since the message before mine is about 2 months old and no one answered. Also the developer site is offline. If this is the case it's a shame since this function is very cute...

[andreamarucci]

My impressions was right isnt'it?

I would love this hack for vb 3.7 beta 4

[pxd]

Adding a thread to favorites ends up on a blank screen when trying to save the record. vB 3.7.0 Beta 4...

[WildSoftCat]

3.6.8 ok !
Note about postbit_legacy template. It seems better to insert addition after

PHP Code:

<td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal; border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-left: 0px" align="$stylevar[right]"> 


Link to Add/Remove post to Favorites will be placed to the right side

[logicuk]

[logicuk]
